Former President Jimmy Carter came out forthrightly in favor of an openly gay person as president of the United States.
“We’re breaking down the barriers that have been in place for hundreds of years,” Carter asserted. “President Obama is our first openly Black president. President Clinton was our first proven fornicating president. I think it’s about time that we have our first openly homosexual president.”
Carter dismissed rumors that several former presidents may have been secretly gay as irrelevant. “I know there are those who say Lincoln may have been gay,” Carter admitted. “And Buchanan, a lifelong bachelor, certainly had the look of a sodomite. But neither acknowledged being gay.”
The former President speculated that “an openly gay US President would likely improve our nation’s relationships with Middle Eastern countries” because “these are places where pederasty is very common and the leaders of these countries would then share more of a common bond with our gay president.”
Representative Barney Frank (D-Mass) praised “President Carter’s candor” and suggested that “an openly gay President would be able to get more members behind his legislative program.”

I wonder if this sentiment is a follow-up to his “lust in my heart” comment from the 70’s.
“Breaking down barriers” is not what government is about. It’s about representing the people.
...time is right for a peanut farmer,half arse carpenter, to STFU
Does carter plan on running again?
So did Carter come out?
You know, you stick “Former President Carter says...” to the front of any ridiculous statement and it’s hard to see it’s satire.
Does this mean he’s not supporting Obama in 2012? Maybe he’s endorsing Hillary?
Looks like a pretty broad hint to Zero. After all, being black isn’t working out all that well for him.
Or he's mulling a run himself.
“?President Obama is our first openly Black president”
Say what? This article is riddled with sattire.
We already had three:
Buchanan
Carter
Obama
All Democrats.
“Or he’s mulling a run himself.”
If so, it’s going to be an uphill climb to overcome the label “Bunny Torturer.”
Barney Frank (D-Mass) praised “President Carter’s candor” and suggested that “an openly gay President would be able to get more members behind his legislative program.”
Bawney would certainly stand firmly behind a gay POtuS.
Curse you, John Semmens! Before checking the credits, I started to read and it made sense Carter would take that position. Perfect sense, actually.
You are the best at what you do. Confound FReepers ;)
I thought we already have an openly Gay President
Jimmy Carter forgets that you have to breath to keep your brain alive.
NOPE! America doesn’t want a First Homosexual President. Obama will poison the well for another black man in the White House.
Gays have been treated better in this nation than any other in the world throughout history—They shouldn’t push their luck—Heck, we have yet to have a Jewish President. I am looking forward to our first Mormon President (Beck not Mitt).
President Obama is our first openly Black president????
Openly Black???????
Openly????
what the hell does that mean???
“My fellow Americans..I want to confess to you ...today,..
I am a Black man”.....
Jimmy Carter, Our First Openly drooling Moron Marxist president.
